I, along with all bankruptcy attorneys in Northeast Florida, receive calls on a regular basis asking what our fees are for filing bankruptcy. I suspect these people essentially don't know what they don't know. If the caller is planning on filing bankruptcy, he or she is asking the wrong question.

Bobby Wilbert, a bankruptcy attorney in Jacksonville, Florida, recently posted a link on his website to a concise blog page I thought was very good concerning picking an attorney, posted by Cathy Moran. She relates the hiring of a bankruptcy attorney to picking a coach, not calling around for the cheapest price or looking for the attorney that shows up first in search results on the internet. The link to the article is

The issue before the Court is whether a private loan extended for
educational purposes is dischargeable in a debtor’s chapter 7 case.
There are three (3) subsections addressing educational debt
that is excepted from discharge. Apparently the argument was centered on which of the 3 sections is applicable in determining the loans dischargeability. Based on the facts of this case, the Court held that
the private student loan at issue is not an educational benefit, as it did not qualify for federal student loan assistance. The Court entered an Order granting
the debtor’s motion for summary judgment and denying the defendant’s
motion for summary judgment.
